The LORD will not abandon him to his power or let him be condemned when he is brought to trial.
The faithful see the world in chaos: the godless prosper while the pious suffer, which tempts us to think God either absent or indifferent. This psalm strengthens us against that very temptation by declaring their felicity cursed and fleeting, while God's care for His own never fails, even in calamity.

Commenting on Psalm 37:1-40
God will not leave His servant in the enemy's hand forever. Our bodies may suffer awhile under their power, but our souls rise beyond their reach in joy and peace. Time or eternity will reverse their verdict; the right shall appear, and the false unmasked.
AI summary
The wicked borrow and refuse to repay; the righteous give freely. If we would be blessed, we must render every man his due and show mercy daily. The first thing God requires is justice; giving and lending, done with a generous heart, are acceptable to Him.
